The Evolution of Black African Entrepreneurship in the UK
Migrating to a different country can be difficult, especially when attempting to start a business.

Global Perspectives on Military Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Like other organizations across the world, military establishments apply the concept of entrepreneurship to day-to-day activities. However, literature on the topic runs thin, creating a gap in the research on this area of military involvement in entrepreneurship. These studies focus heavily on three topics: ex-military officers in entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial-minded individuals still in the military, and military spouses as successful entrepreneurs.

Handbook of Research on Consumerism and Buying Behavior in Developing Nations
Having a grasp on what appeals to consumers and how consumers are making purchasing decisions is essential to the success of any organization that thrives by offering a product or service. Despite the importance of consumer knowledge and understanding, research-based insight into the buying patterns and consumption habits of individuals in emerging nations remains limited.

Emphasizing the power of the consumer market in emerging economies and their overall role in the global market system, this edited volume features research-based perspectives on consumer perception, behavior, and relationship management across industries. This timely publication is an essential resource for marketing professionals, consumer researchers, international business strategists, scholars, and graduate-level students.
Entrepreneurship at the Margins
Immigrants are compelled to accept less than satisfactory work and adapt to conditions in their new environment. Many individuals are then motivated to pursue immigrant- and ethnically-oriented entrepreneurship. This approach to generating income is enhanced by socio-cultural factors in the informal sector. Using the Nigerian ethnic groups social events organizing platform in the UK as an example, this case study examines the notion of entrepreneurial disadvantage, which leads ethnic individuals to opt for marginal entrepreneurial opportunities rather than unemployment. Entrepreneurship in a specific ethnic socio-cultural space reveals conditions under which an informal economy emerges in a developed society. But a particularly discerning, newly arrived immigrant has options available to him or her; these are either to stay and adjust or to exit and return home. Students are asked to choose from among several options for Josh, who recently moved to the United Kingdom from Nigeria to join his family.

The 53
On August 9, 1965, 53 men died in the impoverished hills of rural Arkansas. Their final breaths came in a government facility deep underground while their loved ones were at home expecting their return. The incident at Launch Complex 373-4 remains the deadliest accident to occur in a U.S. nuclear facility. The 53: Rituals, Grief, and a Titan II Missile Disaster analyzes the event. It looks at causes but more importantly at how the mishap has affected daughters and sons for nearly six decades. It gives new sociological insight on technological disasters and the sorrow following them. The book also details how surviving family members managed themselves and each other while benefiting from the support of friends and strangers. It describes how institutions blame the powerless, and how powerful organizations generate distrust and secondary trauma. With an analysis of the event and post-disaster life, their children share stories on what went wrong and how they keep moving forward.
Transitioning to Decent Work and Economic Growth
